The band’s biggest hit, “We’re an American Band,” still resonates with generations of fans. Brewer wrote the song — and still remembers the moment he realized it was something special.

"We're Am American Band" from Grand Funk's 1973 album of the same name, went on to become certified platinum, and the single became the band's first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Rock band Grand Funk Railroad will be making their way to Schenectady for a performance at Rivers Casino and Resort.

In honor of the band's 50th anniversary of the hit "We're An American Band," the new edition of Grand Funk headed back on the road in 2024.
